Entrance Test

General Info

All Italian scientific degree programs taking part to “Piano Nazionale Lauree Scientifiche” administer an entrance test in order to evaluate prospective students’ starting knowledge on mathematics. The test is mandatory but it is not binding for enrollment: the aim of the test is to allow students to self-evaluate their knowledge and to take up their university studies being aware of their own background.
Additional Learning Requirements (OFA) are assigned to all students who fail the entrance test.
OFA can be automatically cancelled by passing one of the maths exams (e.g. Calculus or Discrete Structures and Linear Algebra) at the first year of the program of study. Students with OFA cannot take second year exams.

How the test is made

From A.Y. 2017/18 the entrance test will consist of 50 multiple-choice questions:

For each question there is only one correct answer out of 5, with a maximum score of 1.
There is a penalty of -0,25 for each wrong answer.The test is passed with no less than 14/50 points.
During the test, students are not allowed to consult anything (books, lecture notes, calculator, etc).
